Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a multi-branch receiver having multiple receiver branches for receiving and processing a receive signal. More particularly, the present invention relates to squelch apparatus, and an associated method, for a multibranch receiver. Processing of the receive signal received at different ones of the branches of the multi-branch receiver is selectively squelched at selected processing stages of the receiver branches. The number of receiver branches in which subsequent receiver-stage processing of a receive signal is performed is gradually reduced. Thereby, gradual squelching of the receive signal occurs. Such gradual squelching of further processing of the receive signal received at the different ones of the receiver branches reduces the processing required to be performed by the multi-branch receiver.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé (500) associé audit système, destinés à un récepteur à branchement multiple (10). Un signal de réception (12) est capté sur différents branchements de réception (14) du récepteur à branchement multiple (10). Après sélection de phases de traitement (28, 44, 56) du signal de réception (12), des déterminations (34) sont établies concernant la qualité de signal du signal sur les branchements de réception (14). Si les déterminations (34) établies indiquent que la qualité de signal du signal d'un branchement de réception (14) donné est de qualité médiocre, le traitement ultérieur du signal (12) sur ledit branchement est soumis à un réglage silencieux (38, 52, 64).
